When growing your business, should you worry about getting a positive ROI on every penny you spend?

It’s an interesting question for me while talking with today’s guest, Sarah.

Sarah started her own agency just 5 months ago. And while she’s been able to get hourly contractors on board quickly to help with creative work, she’s having difficulty finding the right people to help with administrative work.

Even more, she’s not sure how to pay for them. Because in a traditional agency model, everything has to be tied back to billable client hours.

After talking through it, we came up with some good solutions.

PS: Sarah is looking to hire someone to help with client relations. Her contact info is below:
